- Update 1.8.1 - 23 April 2026
Update 1.8.1 is a long overdue update that brings in many of the quality of life and maintenance changes from the Quest version of the game to Steam. The main improvement under the hood is a better implementation of OpenXR support, which allowed us to consolidate support for different OpenXR runtimes into one build, meaning there is no longer a need for the two different launch options we had before. Here's a full change log:Updated OpenXR implementation to support all OpenXR runtimes, no longer requiring the secondary OpenVR launch option.Added Italian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Russian localizationAdded 7 new songs to the soundtrackAdded a recenter button that allows you to quickly reposition the puzzle and menu back in front of you when you away from the puzzleAdded the option to launch the game directly in to the last puzzle you were playing

- Launch options on start for SteamVR or OpenXR - 24 June 2022
If you're running SteamVR's OpenXR utility and are having issues detecting your controllers, you can now choose to launch the game in OpenXR mode which should fix that issue.
- OpenXR public branch now available - 24 June 2022
Some players have been experiencing issues with the game's controls, where the controllers aren't detected at the start of the game. Turns out this was caused by SteamVR's OpenXR runtime being enabled. To solve this, I've had to implement OpenXR support in the game. If you're having issues, switch over to the "openxr" branch, update the game, after which it should work again.

- Cubism is available today! - 17 September 2020
After 3 years of solo-development, Cubism is finally launching today at 10AM PST! (5PM GMT) It's been a long while since I first shared a demo for the game here on Steam (a bit longer than I anticipated to be honest), and the game has evolved a lot since then. I want to thank everyone who played the early demo here on Steam - the early feedback was a huge encouragement for me to continue developing the game and getting to this point! The game is launching with a set of 60 puzzles, ranging from easy to expert, good for several hours of puzzling fun. This isn't the end of the line though - I plan to keep supporting the game in the coming months, and have a few updates planned for the future. So if you have any feedback, or experience any issues, feel free to share them in the Steam forums! Happy puzzling! - Thomas
- Cubism Demo Update 0.3 - 13 January 2020
Has it already been over year? Oof - sorry about that. Between moving countries due to visa issues and working my day job, progress on Cubism hasn’t always been as consistent as I’d like, but I’m happy to say we’re getting closer to the finish line! My goal is to get Cubism to Early Access on Steam in the next month or so, and fully released by this summer. In the meantime, here’s a big update to the demo with all the improvements from the last year of development. If you own a quest, you can also get this version of the demo via SideQuest! Changelog: Simplified tutorial and controls The full game can now be played with just the triggers, making it much easier to pick up and play for people at all skill levels. 6 puzzles with varying difficulties The original demo had 12 puzzles, where the difficulty in later levels varied heavily. This demo is shorter, but is hopefully a better balance…
- Cubism Demo Update 0.2 - 30 September 2018
Hi all! It's been a while since the last update, but I've been hard at work on completing the full game. A lot of work is going into rebuilding some of Cubism's underlying systems to insure it's maintainability in the future, and to make it easier to support future platforms. Beyond that, I've spent a lot of time designing puzzles and working on the audio in the game. This update to v0.2 brings some of this work to the demo: A first pass of adding musical audio to the puzzles: every puzzle piece plays a note when spawned, and all the puzzle pieces together will play a chord when solving a puzzle. Added more sound effects throughout the game. (some of these are still placeholders though) Added an option for unrestricted rotation of the puzzle. The default still restricts puzzle rotation, since it might be disorienting for some players, but this mode does make it easier to place pieces at…
- Cubism at VRLA 2018! - 2 May 2018

- Cubism Demo Update 0.13 - 9 April 2018
Hi all! This is a small update with mostly bug-fixes and tweaks: You can now enable a floorgrid from the options menu, which may increase comfort for some players as you'll feel more grounded. Widened collides on floating puzzle pieces to make grabbing them easier. Instead of being always on, the 'boomerang force' on puzzle pieces is now only applied when they're thrown far away, making them fly back. This solves the issue of pieces suddenly jolting towards the controllers. Fixed a bug where if you opened the menu immediately after finishing a puzzle, the menu would open a second time by itself. Fixed a bug where the first puzzle appears unsolved after solving it and restarting the game. Fixed a bug where unlocked puzzles still appear to be locked after clearing progress and solving the first puzzle. That's it for now! As always, if you have any feedback or bump into any issues, feel fr…
